I hate Rose's game and his romantic comeback stories.

Not sure if Derrick Rose is a serious option for us, but I would love it. The guy has heart and can score.

I think that he is gonna sign with the Bulls, they need a PG too and obviously he coming back would be a nice story.

His next contract is probably longer than the last one. He can get $20M / 2 years.
He had a nice bounce back. Now some of the off the court stuff would make me feel a little icky rooting for the dude in a suns uni.

I think I would prefer Collison or Beverley at 2/20 than Rose. Even Wolfley knows the drill (unlike Douglice and Gambo) - get a VETERAN PG - and take BPA in the draft. Doug wants the Cavs and who is picking 5 to take Wings so the Suns can get PG. Wolf is like - take BPA and sign a veteran.

Well, yeah I am not sure if I want him over those PGs for the same contract.

I talked about him because Ashley Nevel tweeted about him, but a few minutes later she deleted that tweet.

IDK what happened, but it opens some speculation about Rose probably being on our radar.

Such a mixed feeling on Rose. From a pure basketball perspective he could make sense especially if his recent 3pt shooting is for real. Plus there's a chance if he doesn't get hurt again he could start to look more explosive the further away from the knee injuries he gets.

Off the court stuff, while he wasn't convicted of the sexual assault that whole story has a real bad look.

I think the Suns should pass on Derrick "We men" Rose. That's not the kind of guy you want on a young impressionable roster. :lol:

For 30 games until we go back to complaining about Melton/Okobo playing PG for the other 50.

This is most likely what's going to happen. People wont be happy, but it's the most likely and safest scenario. I hope i'm wrong, but there are way to many pieces that need to fall into place for us to truly do something significant.

I actually think fans will be okay if they don’t trade up for say Ja and just take the best player and get PG in free agency.

I have nothing against Ja Garland or White except they will be rookie PGs. I think the team needs a veteran

I don't think the plan is to start anyone they draft at 6. Where is could alter their plan is if they do grab one of those PGs I would expect they go with a less expensive option as a vet PG like the Corey Joseph type range vs paying someone else like 3-30. In that scenario they probably spend heavier on a PF. But some of this is free flowing because I definitely could see them trading some combination of Warren Jackson Melton, okobo, bucks pick to for a vet PF or PG.

Nice haul for Atlanta to take a year of Crabbe. Brooklyn is now fully in the add two max FA land.

That only gives them 1 max slot if they plan on re-signing Dlo, maybe another trade coming, like Dinwiddie to us....
